8.8.2008
Happy 8.8.08 everyone. Feeling extra lucky today? Anything special happened? Win any lottery or 4 digit (Empat ekor)?
For us, it was just another ordinary Friday. With the exception that we got to watch the Olympic on NBC channel. Towards the end of the broadcast of the Beijing Olympic 2008, we had a short conversation.
Daddy: Wah today 8.8.08, sure a lot of people getting married.
Mommy: Yalar, very superstitious mar … fatt fatt fatt, especially for Chinese people.
Daddy: I bet a lot of people want to have their baby born today. May be get induced so the baby come today.
Mommy: Induced also doesn’t mean can arrive today, sometimes it takes very long even after induction.
Daddy: What would you name our baby if born today?
Mommy: Hmm … Wong Fatt … Ehh … better still … Wong Ling Fatt! (Ling Fatt = zero eight = 08)
Mommy: Reminds me of ‘Ling Ling Fatt’, the special agent Stephen Chow.
